Stark County commissioners unanimously approved a $723,327 bid from Two's Construction for a livestock building at the county fairgrounds during a special meeting Friday, Aug. 15. The motion to accept the low bid passed on a roll-call vote after no substantive discussion.

The project had been bid the day before the meeting. Commissioner Claris moved to approve the bid and Commissioner Franchuk seconded the motion. The roll call recorded votes of “aye” from Commissioner Claris, Commissioner Franchuk, Commissioner White, Commissioner Marsh and the chair; the motion carried.

There was no extended public comment or debate on the bid during the meeting. Commissioners indicated staff would "get that reviewed and executed," signaling administrative steps toward contract finalization but not identifying a contract-signing date or funding source.

The special meeting opened with the pledge of allegiance and included only the fairgrounds bid review on its agenda; after approving the bid, commissioners moved to adjourn. The county did not state a funding breakdown, timeline for construction, or contractor start date during the session.
